As Chris and myself have indicated - this is probably a non issue
regarding freenode.net.

I fail to see why we need profiles of all of your developers. 
Participation is what we seek from our developers not CVs, we judge
people by their results within the project, not where they were born,
degrees obtained and previous work experience.  We get to know people
through IRC, the lists, their use of savannah.  If you feel strongly
enough you can post one message profiling all of your crew, but this is
unlikely to receive much of a response.

Don't get me wrong, we want you to participate in the project.  But we
are busy people and so generally don't read CVs or long posts about
people's previous experience.  We are a community which people are
involved in not a company trying to hire new devs.

Cheers

Dave
